More Graphics Weirdness

[Dogfish40]

This is another one that's been going on and off for some time. The enemy can't see it so it's not a big show stopper, just a mood flattner I see this at 180 degrees from the scope.

That's the marker so you can know where you are when submerged.

There's a way to turn it off, but I don't remember what it is. You can also replace the graphic file to remove it.

The graphic file needed is Umark.dds and is 6 KB in size. The file is found in Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Misc folder. Ducimus' mod called Trigger Maru Overhauled ver 2.0 has the file of umark.dds being blanked out. If you do not have Trigger Maru, than send me a PM. I will email you the file.

Razark, Daniel & Mike,
Thanks for those. I'm sure we all agree that normally we're not supposed to see that marker through the periscope at all. In fact the only time we're supposed to see the marker is if you're using the outside camera.
I really don't want to shut off the marker completely because I use the outside camera to get a bearing on the boat when I go off looking for Enemy planes and other eye candy I like to check out whilst tooling around the Pacific.
So, maybe there is another fix. To be a bit more thorough, I need to mention that this only happens when I have a Gato (so far) and I'm in the mid Pacific, it tends to dissappear further south. Anyhow, Mike, I'll send that off, Thanks.
Good Hunting all!

Oh come on man, using external view is so gamey. Turn it off alltogether. I use it every once in a while but only for the ocasional eyecandy (BTW, is it sick to enjoy seeeing those nippon marus sinking?) but 99% of the time external view is there just to spoil game enjoyment.

I think you can get rid of that sub marker arrow by clicking Alt + Delete (the numbers pad "delete" key that is). It's either that or Ctrl + Delete.

That's what I mean. I really don't use the external camera for taking a peek to give myself an advantage. That's why I was having so much trouble with weeks of heavy fog not long ago. I couldn't tell if I was going to attack a frendly merchant or an enemy until I got 300 yrds from the vessal. I use the external cam when there's no action and things are kinda boring. I take lots of screenies as well. If I didn't have the external cam, all the trouble that they took to make the graphics this good would go out the window.

I'll try that, thanks Wernher.
